CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 16, 1919.

Application filed September 11, 1918. Serial No. 253,516.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GHAnLns T. STUKEN- nnnc, a citizen of the United States, residing at Albers, in the county of Clinton and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to cabinets and more particularly to a coal cabinet.

The primary object of this invention resides in the provision of a cabinet in which a supply of coal may be stored in the kitchen of a resi lence to eliminate the usual inconvenience of conveying coal from the coal bin to the stove in small quantities.

Another object of this invention resides in the provision of a cabinet from which the coal stored therein may be readily shoveled therefrom in the desired quantities without creating dust or the like.

A still further object of this invention resides in the provision of a coal cabinet for storing the coal adjacent the stove in such a manner that the amount on hand will be readily seen without lifting the cover to the cabinet.

WVith these and other objects in view this invention resides in the provision of certain novel features of construction, arrange ment of parts and combination of elements to be more fully set forth in the following specification and it is to be understood that minor changes in detail may be resorted to as come within the spirit of the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cabinet,

Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the same.

In the present embodiment of this inven tion the numeral 5 indicates the cabinet which consists of a rear wall 6 and side walls 7. This cabinet while herein shown as being constructed of wood may be manufactured from any suitable material and in various sizes.

The front of this cabinet consists of a rearwardly and downwardly inclined wall 8 and a substantially perpendicularly ar ranged wall 9 in which is out an access opening 10 for access to the coal.

The bottom 11 of this cabinet projects forwardly of the side walls 7 and is inclined rearwardly in order that the coal will not fall through the opening 10 when the cabinet is filled and for the purpose of piling it at the rear of the cabinet when a small quan tity is in the cabinet.

In order to ascertain when the cabinet is about empty an upwardly directed wire net 12 is fastened in any suitable manner to the top of the wall 9 and bottom of the wall 8.

The cabinet is provided with a stationary top 13 to which is hinged as at 1 1 a cover 15 forlfilling the cabinet with a quantity of coa Fastened in any suitable manner to the top of the cabinet is a series of shelves 16 in order that kitchen utensils or the like may be placed thereon.

Thus having fully described this invention, it is apparent that a cabinet has been produced which not only reduces the labor "of conveying the coal from the bin but through its adoption a sanitary cabinet of convenience is presented at a nominal exense.

What I claim is:

1. A cabinet of the character described comprising a rear wall, an inclined bottom, side walls, a vertical wall resting on said bottom with an opening therein, an inclined front wall above said vertical wall with its lower edge disposed inwardly of the upper edge of said vertical wall, and a wire net connecting the lower edge of the front inclined wall and the upper edge of the front vertical wall, all arranged as set forth.

2. A coal cabinet comprising a rear wall, side walls, a bottom, a depending front wall, an upstanding front wall, said front walls being so arranged with respect to each other as to provide an opening though which the coal in the cabinet may be seen, and a wire screen closing such opening.

In, testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
